Roth Bar at Hauser & Wirth New York, 22nd Street
The Roth Bar is a specially-crafted liquor and coffee bar made from locally sourced salvaged materials, designed by Björn, Oddur and Einar Roth, son and grandsons of German-born Swiss artist Dieter Roth. Roth Bar serves a rotating selection of cocktails and seasonal fare based on ingredients sourced from local farms.

The gallery’s location in Chelsea is a beautiful four-story masonry structure that hosted Dia Art Foundation’s exhibitions from 1987 to 2004. Alongside multiple exhibition spaces and the Roth Bar, the site houses Hauser & Wirth Publishers’ first dedicated bookshop, offering an extensive collection of monographs, artists’ books, historic exhibition catalogues, collections of artists’ writings, and catalogues raisonnés. Focused on a core belief in conservation, education, community and sustainability, food comprises a central element to the experience of Hauser & Wirth’s galleries.
The art centers in Los Angeles and Somerset both comprise a restaurant – the Roth Bar & Grill in Somerset combines gastronomy with contemporary art and serving honest, simple and seasonal food, and Manuela restaurant in DTLA offers a menu highlighting artisanal techniques including in-house smoking, fermenting, preserving and pickling. Open Tuesday – Saturday, 10 am – 6 pm
